MIDLAND, Mich. — Federal regulators say an executive at Michigan-based Dow Chemical tipped a Texas pal about the company's 2008 takeover of Rohm & Haas.
The Securities and Exchange Commission filed a lawsuit Monday against then Dow Vice President Mack Murrell (Mur-REL'), his friend David Teekell of Tomball, Texas, and a stockbroker.
The SEC says Teekell netted more than $500,000 by buying Rohm & Haas stock before Midland-based Dow announced a takeover five years ago.
